They don't show up nearly as much as coconuts in Carribean styled art work. But hey, I could just be blowing smoke. It is kind of funny though, as the pineapple is native to southern Brazil and spread by the natives into the Carribean where Columbus found it and carried it back. The Spanish in turn brought it to the Philippines where it traveled east to Polynesia in the 16th century. (ha, Google makes me sound edumacated)
